Re: m4 installed but bison still says it is required after it is there - is there a freeze switch for m4 ?

[frank harrington]

HP-UX 11.11 I do not believe had an M4 installed - I
was trying to install AIDE which complained that Bison
was required. Bison now says M4 is required so I
installed that and went back to installing Bison but
it is still complaining at the end of the
configure script. I have included the output of that
file as an attachment.

The m4 install went smoothly. I believe it is 1.4.4 

This is not a critical problem for us. I was not asked
to install these products. I just wanted to get it to
work and I still would like to do that. I mostly
thought you would want to know of an instance where it
does not appear to be installing correctly. I believe
I have done what it is looking for. 

I may try a link into /usr/local to see if that
satisfies the script.
